To get to the root of the problem: How is the spam happening? I would suspect: * registration, email validation and diary post within a short timeframe? * without anything else (especially OSM editing) in between? Maybe this could be identified by kind of a bonus point system where you * get some minus points in the first place * get bonus points by uploading tracks and/or editing OSM * maybe even get bonus points as time goes by * and get allowed to post, finally * or at least prohibit links if you don't have enough points IMO this doesn't have to be a great obstacle, just prohibit instantaneous diary posting right after registrating (that's what comment spam is all about, IMHO). /al _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
